Why Slope Goes to the North-East: The Earth's 23.4 Degree Tilt

The earth is tilted 23.4 degrees toward the North-East. When a plot, plan and floor are sloped the same way, with the North-East kept lowest, the land falls in line with nature and absorbs the full energy, which collects most in the North-East.

What it does

To understand the principle behind every slope rule so it can be applied anywhere.

Where

Whole plot, floors and rooms

How to do it

  1. 1Keep the North-East as the lowest point of the land and the floors
  2. 2Let the slope run from the West and South toward the North-East, East or North

Explanation and notes

A pump cannot lift water if its tube does not touch the water, however powerful the machine. In the same way, land sloped in line with the earth's tilt connects to the natural energy and draws it in. The sun rises in the East, but because of the slope this energy gathers in the North-East, which is why the North-East is so important. Living by nature is the aim; vastu could well have been called prakriti vigyan (natural science).

Principleवास्तु की परिभाषा

Geo Vastu Definitions of Vastu: Universal Energy, Land and Fortune

Vastu is the name for bringing the energy that pervades the universe to its correct direction and its real location. It is also defined as awakening one's own fortune (bhagya) through the energy of the land, and, for the North-West, as the unobstructed coming and going of air.

Principleअग्नि कोण

South-East (Agni Kon): Lord Agni, Venus, Fame and Cash Flow

The South-East, 45 degrees beyond the East, is ruled by Agni, the hidden fire energy present in every living being. Its planet is Venus (Shukra) and it gives fame and cash flow, so the South-East of a householder's home must never be cut.

Energy Boosting

Diamond Powder Swastik in the South-East to Boost Agni Energy

The acharyas advise placing diamond in the ground of the South-East to increase its power. Where the floor is already built, as in a flat, a swastik drawn with inexpensive diamond chip powder in the South-East serves the same purpose.

Principleयम दिशा

South (Yama): Mars, Coral, Rest, Life and the Realm of Ancestors

The South belongs to Yama, the god of justice and messenger of death, who rides a buffalo and holds a danda (rod). Its planet is Mars (Mangal) and its stone is moonga (coral); it is the zone of complete relaxation and sleep and rules the world of departed ancestors.

Principleनैऋत्य कोण

South-West (Nairitya): Rahu-Ketu, Prosperity, and Keeping It Highest

The South-West is ruled by Nairitya, with Rahu-Ketu as its planets and gomed (hessonite) as its stone. Balanced, uncut and right-angled, it gives prosperity, stability and skill, and it must be the highest part of the property in both ground level and building height, which is why a dhwaj (flag) is raised there.

Principleवरुण दिशा

West (Varun): Saturn, Neelam, Future and Wealth, Strongest After Sunset

The West, 45 degrees beyond the South-West, is ruled by Varun, the lord of water, with Saturn (Shani) as planet and neelam (blue sapphire) as stone. It builds the future and gives prosperity and wealth, and its power is felt after sunset, growing as the night advances.

Principleवास्तु का विभाजन

Division of Vastu: Land Energy 70, Orientation 20, Interior 5, Protection 5

In the Geo Vastu system, the results of a property come 70 percent from land energy (the earth element), 20 percent from orientation and the main door, 5 percent from the interior and 5 percent from vastu protection. Land energy must therefore be checked first, because good orientation on weak land gives no result.
